There are no street lights, no city lights, instead there is the purest otherworldly night scene, with stars dotting overhead. Luminous mosses and similar plants on the rock walls have replaced man-made objects and become signposts in the wild. Large luminous insects similar to fireflies, which are actually called XX fireflies, rise from the grass with a faint green light and dance in the air.

Even a casual photo can be used as a wallpaper! It is a beautiful and fantastic scene that Saki, who grew up in the city, has never seen in his life. What he is most grateful for now is that the pixel of his mobile phone is still clear - at least, it can retain half of the beauty, which is enough for him.

Not only the plains, but even the towering World Tree in the center of the sea of ​​clouds also changed with the arrival of night - or rather, things that were imperceptible during the day were finally revealed to people's eyes. The enormous treetops bloomed in the night sky, and emerald green light bands surrounded it, flickering and magnificent.

“It feels like it’s worth dying for!”

"What a fuss... Is it really that beautiful?"

Although she was questioning verbally, Nia's eyes were still fixed on the night sky above her head and the World Tree in the distance - for the people of the Netherworld and for her, this was a common sight, but for some reason today, when she saw all this again, her mood had a subtle fluctuation.

Is it because he has been away for three days? Or is it because he doesn't have to worry about being hunted down for a short time? Or is it...

“What a beautiful world!”

"...Yes."

It's a pity that they are not particularly friendly to her, and this world, which people from another world admire for its beauty from the bottom of their hearts... is actually gradually coming to an end.

There are fewer and fewer new Arus, and more and more old Arus are sinking in the sea of ​​clouds. Such a great race is now facing the double blow of "aging population" and "declining birth rate". The space for species that rely on super-large Arus to survive is also decreasing. One day...

Of course, Nia did not say such words without paying attention to the atmosphere. Instead, she looked at the sky, which had not changed much from before she left, and gradually emptied her mind, trying not to think about those things.

Just before, Baihu had vaguely told her to stay away from Torig Town... She didn't quite understand the situation, but it roughly meant that there was danger, right? Baihu knew her identity. Unlike ordinary human bladebenders, as a cannibal bladebender, even if she was separated from her own blade, she had a combat power far exceeding that of ordinary bladebenders. Knowing this, Baihu still let her leave?

...Although she felt a little embarrassed for disappointing Baihu's kindness, she had no intention of running away alone in shame like she did before.

What's more...there is someone who is more anxious than her in this regard, and she doesn't even know who is the blade wielder of the captured Blade.

"Oh? The spiritual power activity increases at night. This world is really interesting!"

"..."

Looking at the young man who had retreated back to the campfire and started to meditate and cultivate his "spiritual power", Nia's mouth curled up slightly, but her beautiful eyes were a little dim.

Although she thought that this person probably wouldn't care about those things, but... she was still afraid, afraid of the possibility that might exist, even if there was only a slight possibility.

Fear that the current relationship will change.

That being said, she had a vague feeling...

"Well?"

Saki tilted his head and saw Nia walk to the fire and sit down without saying a word. He didn't think much about it and began to practice spiritual power - although the speed of becoming stronger was extremely slow, it was the only way at the moment when he had no gold to spend.

Maybe these few extra spiritual powers will be the key to victory?

The way to cultivate spiritual power is not difficult, but rather extremely simple and crude. You only need to concentrate the spiritual power that already belongs to you at a certain point and form a vortex at a corresponding rate, so that you can absorb the free spirit particles in the surrounding atmosphere. Theoretically, as long as you persevere, the spiritual power in your body will spontaneously operate one day, absorbing the surrounding spiritual power all the time, without the user having to distract themselves to control it. However, that is still too far away for Saki, and it can only be regarded as a hope. At present, you can only concentrate on controlling the operation of the spiritual power, and by the way, look forward to the day when this ball of spiritual power will grow up and cultivate itself.

Volume 32 Young Man, Girl and Their Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter Yakamachi!

But it was strange that even people from another world could be captured at Tenjin Elementary School, so there was aura and ether in the air. Saki didn't say anything, but now it was a different world, and there was still a lot of aura in the air - or was it actually the same thing as the ether needed by Blade and Arus? Was it a universal resource in every world?

Saki's mind moved, and an arm made of spiritual power stretched out from his chest, passed through the fire, and swayed in front of Nia who was on the opposite side of the fire, but Nia didn't react at all.

Of course, after all, this method is normally used by ghosts and spirits, so it is normal that it cannot be seen. If Saki didn't have spiritual power in his body, even he himself would not be able to catch the movement trajectory of this arm... But if he just slapped it, that would be a different ending.

From the looks of it, it seems that it can be confirmed that spiritual power and ether are two different energies?

"If there is a chance in the future, let Nia learn it too."

But the prerequisite is that there must be that opportunity.

He drew out some of his spiritual power, and while keeping the main spiritual power vortex running in his chest, he input this small amount of spiritual power into his eyes. The world in front of him was immediately coated with a layer of slightly blue filter.

To be precise, there was a ball of blue light mist in front of his pupil, which dyed the pupil and iris blue, just like he had an extra, slightly weird beauty contact lens.

Glaucoma - Actually, it is not. This is what the Book of Shadows calls Yin Yang Eyes. I don't know what the definition is in other worlds, but at least in the description of the Book of Shadows, using spiritual power to give oneself the power to "see spirits" - this is Yin Yang Eyes.

If the spiritual power is attached to the eyes, one can see spirits; if the spiritual power is attached to the limbs, one can touch spirits; if the spiritual power is poured into the black dog blood and boy's urine and thrown out, one can kill spirits. It is a simple and crude operation.

If it were a regular urban plot, with the knowledge of 'seeing spirits', one could be basically certain that the story would enter a supernatural realm - but the fact was that, whether in Tianshen Elementary School or in the underworld Gula Territory, it was difficult to see the existence of spirits, or to be exact, there were none at all.

There were no souls, ghosts, monsters or the like. Apart from an extra layer of strange filters, there was no change - instead, the soul fluctuations of living things within a range of three meters could be seen. The effect of the Yin-Yang Eyes itself could not be exerted, but it seemed that it could still be used as a living body scanner.

Well, the power of magic is used as an auxiliary, and then science is used to arm oneself. This is roughly the tone.

'It's almost time. ’

After temporarily interrupting all spiritual power operations and taking out his phone to check it, Saki looked at Nia and said:

"It's late, Nia, go to bed first."

"Yeah, that's true... Where's Saki? Isn't he sleeping?"

"I'll keep watch. To be honest, I'm really worried about those things."

Just as he finished speaking, a roar was heard from the mountain range formed by Gula's back, followed by a series of wolf howls on the plains that seemed to be in direct response to the roar. When Nia turned around again, she saw three more ice mines in Saki's hands, ready to be fired.

I can't feel at ease at all!

"...Don't worry, if it was the lower level it would be fine, but this is the upper level of Gula, and it's the right half."

"Does this mean anything?"

"mean..."

"——————————!"

Instantly, Saki's head was shaken, and his ears suddenly buzzed without warning. He was in a trance. Even if he subconsciously covered his ears, he couldn't stop the tinnitus that seemed to tear the eardrum. It was not until three seconds later that the feeling gradually subsided. He gasped for breath and decisively injected spiritual power into key organs to relieve the stimulation caused by the previous blow.

'Is this... a roar?'

Saki was secretly shocked. This roar from who knows how far away made him so uncomfortable. If it got closer, wouldn't he be killed on the spot by the roar?

"Lord Barbarossa of the Great Plains of Geldea, under its restrictions, no animal will hunt at night. The only thing to worry about is the daytime, and..."

Nia calmly released her hands from her ears, glanced at Saki, and felt secretly delighted. It was a small revenge for the explosion that blinded her cat's eyes during the day. There was no need to explain the rest.

The only thing we have to worry about at night is humanity itself.

Cannibalism is not within the jurisdiction of this plains lord, let alone dangerous animals like "humans".

Since Nia, a local, said so, Saki naturally stopped insisting, but still re-checked the fool-proof trap set he bought from the supermarket and placed around the camp. Finally, he pulled out two compressed sleeping bags from the huge backpack and spread them out. After extinguishing the fire, he took the lead and went inside. Under the cover of night, the whole person merged directly with the grass, and there was no trace at all. Nia was stunned, until a head suddenly grew out of the grass... No, it came out of the sleeping bag.

"How's the effect?"

"...so good that I don't even know what to say."

"That's good. Nia, go to sleep soon. Good night."

"Um...goodnight."

Without saying anything, the two sleeping bags blended perfectly into the ground in the night, completely covering up any traces of their presence. Even the chirping of insects that had previously been afraid to show their heads because of the two's activities gradually began to sound.

Through the mesh-like ventilation holes on the face of the sleeping bag, Saki and Nia looked at the treetops and vines above the camp that completely blocked the starlight. The former closed his eyes first, and his consciousness gradually emptied with the sound of insects, and then...

"Yakamashi!"

With a low roar, a weak wave of spiritual energy exploded from the sleeping bag where Saki was, and swept across the camp. Even though it was just a tiny energy after spreading out, it still silenced the insects that were gradually emerging. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Saki turned over, and soon fell into a deep sleep. The spiritual energy that was restrained and rotating in his body also dispersed at the moment his consciousness sank, returning to his previous state of running around freely.

'渝寒月!:费群"-,;8.5!7;?66'!34''4':2

Nia: “…”

So you are the kind of person who can't fall asleep if there is a little noise disturbing you? !

Hmm... unexpectedly quite real.

'I slept too, right?'

Although they were alone, in a campsite in the wild with a starry sky and beautiful scenery, their nightlife was quite monotonous and boring. The matter of rescuing the white tiger was still weighing on their minds, and they had no mood or room to stay up all night to appreciate the night view.

There will probably be another tough battle tomorrow.

Volume 33: Young Man, Girl and Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter : Gula Train King

The next day, just after daybreak, the two people in the makeshift camp woke up one after another. According to Nia, it was still the 'no hunting allowed' time period, and it was also the best time for the two to set off.

There was no other reason. He had a strong aura of hatred that attracted him. All the wild animals he saw along the way attacked him. From the docile herbivorous Guluo Long-legged Beast and the long-eared rabbit monster to the small giant spiders and small giant frogs that came out in broad daylight... It can be said that any animal larger than a medium-sized dog wanted to step on Saki. For a moment, it seemed as if he had returned to the days when he held a game console and was chased by monsters the whole time.

It's not that they can't win, but it's annoying, and the two don't want to be too conspicuous when they enter Torig Town. If someone rushes into Torig Town with the posture of the Train King, then there will be no need to conduct subsequent secret investigations. They can just attack head-on under Arcadia's pursuit and blockade.

In order to avoid such a situation, it is better to set off early while Barbarossa is still restricting them, and pass through dangerous areas where a large number of monsters live... What's more, we have to make some simple disguises for Nia, which does not need to be too complicated, as long as it can last for half a day. After all, this is still the territory of Spebbia, and the strongest person in the empire and the chief consul of the empire and her blades are currently stationed here. It is impossible for Arcadia to do something like blocking the entrance of the town and forcibly demanding inspection... probably.

But at least, doing something is better than doing nothing.

So, after Saki took out the props prepared for Nia, the cat-eared girl, who was about 1.4 meters tall and had not yet taken off her loli body, instantly transformed herself, stepped on 15-centimeter-high pedals, put on a black cloak with horns on the top, and put on a hideous Hannya mask...

Just become more ostentatious.

In the original world, let alone looking like this, simply wearing a cloak and going out is ostentatious enough. However, in this world, it is just the opposite. Although it is ostentatious, there are always more ostentatious things in this world.

That's the Blade.

Let's not talk about the four-legged beast-like Blades, there are some with blue flames in their hair, some with bodies connected to Gundams, some with limbs separated from their torsos or with things stuck in their joints that are obviously not something that can grow from living things. In addition to this, with the unique clothing of the Blades and the blue crystals symmetrically distributed on the clothing and body, there is no Blade that is not ostentatious, so that people in this world have long been accustomed to these flashy outfits.

“Although I don’t think it’s any use...”

"It's better than doing nothing. Well, in this state, you can call yourself my Blade, and this sword is the Blade's weapon."

"different--"

Under the mask, Nia's blood pressure instantly shot up, and her hand under the cloak subconsciously covered her chest, but she quickly reacted and pretended to be calm and said:

"——Ren, I wonder if I can trick you~"

"Clothes that are similar to the Blade are too expensive. I can't afford them, so there's nothing I can do."

"Really?"

"Ah, they say the gemstones can create a protective shield or something, why are there so many fancy things?"

"I'm really sorry for being so fancy!"

Saki: “???”

Being inexplicably attacked, Saki was naturally confused. He had no time to say anything when he saw Nia stepping on the wooden footrests to walk out of the temporary camp and return to the mountain path. He could only quickly put on the backpack that had been packed long ago and hung the machete on his waist. Spiritual power quickly flowed into his feet, heart and lungs. After slightly increasing his physical strength, he quickly caught up with Nia and walked towards the town of Torig, facing the rising sun that had not yet risen.

Not long after, when the golden sunlight emerged from the gaps between the upper and lower seas of clouds and shone on the Great Plain of Geldea, the animals that had been silent and suppressed all night suddenly became alert, and different howls were heard one after another in every corner of the entire upper right half.

It's time to hunt!

The animals that have been patient all night will now move their four legs, baring their ferocious fangs and sharp claws to fill their hungry stomachs after a whole night's rest.

Among them, the overlord occupying the central area of ​​the great plains had strong limbs wrapped in a thick gelatinous layer. The huge beast opened its scarlet eyes and stood up from the crawling rocks and grass.

This is an extremely huge beast. At first, it was a social creature that dared to challenge "Barbarossa", a gorilla that was like a moving building. When it stood up, the distance from its feet to the base of the joints was much taller than that of an average adult male. Its strong body and thick chitin armor gave it a great advantage even when facing ordinary human troops. It is the undisputed strongest predator on the plains - yes, one of them.

Normally, their regular food should be the bottom of the food chain on the plains, those fast-breeding clapping rabbit monsters or long-legged beasts, and if they want to challenge the lower teeth, there are also equally large armored rhinoceros beasts... That being said, some large prey have been gradually decreasing in recent years - it has nothing to do with humans, it is simply that the growth of plants that can originally feed these herbivores has also decreased in recent years, and there is a problem at the source of the food chain. Although they are unintelligent beasts who don't understand those complicated things, it is precisely because they are born and raised by the wild beasts that they can better perceive that the "land" under their feet is gradually declining.

Of course, this has nothing to do with them. When they are alive, they must work hard every day to survive, and when the end comes, they will quietly find a corner to die. This is their law of survival. They don't care about the past, don't think about the future, and live freely all their lives. This is the essential difference between them and humans.

However, compared with the past, there seems to be a subtle change today.

"call..."

The leader of the pack, the alpha wolf, jumped down from the stone platform, staring at a certain direction with scarlet eyes, baring teeth, and making a low growl like a mouthful of phlegm that could not be coughed out or swallowed. It was the demonstrative sound of their race, and also the bell for preparation before attacking. With this deep growl, the wolves quickly moved. The old wolves and some young and middle-aged armored wolves were at the forefront with the alpha wolf. Another part of the armored wolves protected the cubs and also paid attention to the surroundings, especially the top of their heads. The king giant eagle, which was no less than an adult lion armored wolf beast, liked to take away young or even lone adult armored wolves when they were not prepared. It was one of the few natural enemies of the right half of their body.

Volume 34 Young Man, Girl and Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter Hit My Teammate Again!

But this time the enemy seems to come from land?

What is it? There are not many shelters on the plains. In other words, the other party is not a huge creature. The one that is small but can pose a threat to the leader wolf is...

Humanity!

In an instant, the hair of these armored wolves stood up, and they growled in unison, staring at the empty grassland in front of them.

It's just like the 21st century where Saki once lived. Although the current technology of mankind has not been able to completely conquer the ocean and space, it is still the overlord on land. The same is true for this world. Even the Gula gorilla 'Barbarossa', who is feared by many beasts on the right side of the body, is just like that for the Blade Masters among humans. Putting aside the 'foundation of the world' like Arus, humans are indeed at the top of the food chain.

Even if we take into account the giant Arus that can destroy the country in Saki's world just by moving, the humans in this world are still at the ceiling - although there are guys who can be invited to the second floor, they will not actively interfere.

Those isolated places are fine, but this is Gula Territory. A few kilometers ahead is the town of Torig, where the strongest Blade Master of the Spebia Empire is stationed. These animals living on Gula's back are not fools who are ignorant of the horror of humans. Even the thought of this possibility can make the most ferocious predators on the plains shudder and be prepared to die together with the enemy even if it means sacrificing their underage children.

Just, I was very panicked.

And in this inexplicably tense atmosphere, two figures, one short and the other even shorter, walked out of the bushes one after another. The nose of the leader wolf twitched. As a canine animal, it clearly caught the unusual smell in the air, and its eyes suddenly fell on the figure in a black robe and mask.

This smell...although it is hidden, there is no doubt that the person in there is not a human, and this body shape - can only be a Blade.
